Winter Wonderland

Here we are, at the tail end of oh-ten, and it’s mightily cold back home in Germany. Makes for scenic views, though – both in the countryside...

...and in the city. Here’s Hamburg’s harbor on a particularly beautiful winter day. Sunshine in the middle of December – all too rare in this part of the world.

Flare Is Art.

Lots of ice floating in the harbor by the Baumwall subway station...

...and downtown on the Alster.

Sailboats In the Fog

It’s comforting that even San Diego gets grey skies sometimes – and much appreciated if a few rays of sunshine break through the morning fog to accentuate the nicely photogenic harbor scene.

Big Sur

After all that technology, back to nature. Here’s a scenic view of Big Sur, one of California’s perennial sweet spots along Highway One.

Wet Feet

Even if you don’t like cars or golfing, Pebble Beach near Monterey is definitely worth a visit, with its long stretches of sandy beaches where the Pacific Ocean (on nice days) gently waves hello to the California coast.
